Princess announces dividend payment and publishes 2014 nine-month report

The Board of Directors of Princess Private Equity Holding Limited (Princess or the

Company) is pleased to announce a second dividend of EUR 0.27 per share for the 2014 calendar year. The total dividend due to shareholders is therefore EUR 0.54 per share for the year, including the interim dividend of EUR 0.27 per share distributed in June. This translates into a dividend yield of 6.2% on NAV per share (as of 30 September 2014) and a yield of 7.7% on Princess' share price, based on yesterday's closing price on the London Stock Exchange.

In addition, Princess today published its interim report for the nine-month period ended 30 September 2014. The key points were:

n Princess' net asset value (NAV) increased by 11.0% to EUR 8.68 per share over the year-to-date, adjusted for the interim dividend of EUR 0.27 per share distributed in June.

n Princess' strong performance was predominantly driven by its direct investments, reflecting encouraging progress with the repositioning of the portfolio. Overall, the positive valuation developments during the reporting period amounted to +10.7% and were based on solid earnings results of the Company's underlying portfolio companies.

n Partners Group as Investment Advisor completed thirteen new direct transactions in the first nine months of 2014. The most recent was Voyage Care, a provider of specialist care and support services to people with learning disabilities and acquired brain injuries in the UK.

n Princess deployed EUR 83.7 million in capital to new investments, of which EUR 75.6 million has been used for direct investments.

n Distribution proceeds to Princess from exited investments totaled EUR 56.9 million for the first three quarters of 2014, compared to EUR 47.8 million in the corresponding period last year. The main contributor to the distributions over the reporting period was Princess' legacy third party fund portfolio.

Brian Human, Chairman, comments: "We are pleased to announce a second dividend of EUR 0.27 per share, bringing the total dividend for 2014 to EUR 0.54 per share, representing a yield of 7.7%, based on yesterday's closing share price. The Board recognizes the importance of the dividend for Princess' shareholders and remains fully committed to the current policy to distribute to 5-8% of NAV annually. We believe the attractive dividend yield, the encouraging progress with the repositioning of the portfolio and the successful implementation of operational and strategic initiatives within Princess' direct portfolio continue to enhance shareholder value."

The second interim dividend for the year will be paid on 17 December 2014. The relevant date for the entitlement to the dividend (record date) will be 28 November 2014 and the corresponding ex-dividend date will be 27 November 2014. The Company intends to pay dividends semi-annually following the publication of the quarterly reports as of 31 March and 30 September.

Detailed analysis and commentary on the developments and performance of Princess' portfolio over the first nine months of 2014 will be presented in an interim report published today. The report can be accessed via: http://www.princess-privateequity.net/financialreports
